We had a full week of exploration. The grade 5/6's have been asked to be share their voice in the creation of interpretive signage for our new school. The interpretive signs focus specifically on environmental qualifications in order to certify as a LEED building. Elbow Park School will have interpretive signs on the walls in the foyer and learning commons. In order to take on this work students have embarked on an authentic journey of uncovering what each of these environmental themes are and what visitors might want to read. The nature of this task has engendered students to develop their research, and communication skills through this work. As they work interpersonally they are also learning the difference between genuinely helpful feedback and feedback that is superficial. Stay tuned as we continue our journey. We also had the incredible opportunity of hearing author Aaron Paquette speak on Friday as part of Wordfest. Check out Mr. Burima's summary here.
